THRU FADEAWAY
You can fade away, my loves I will always-
Remember your faces, Thru Fadeaway-
Bless all of your eyes, I realize your my reason-
And I will cherish the days, when our souls will be together-
Shes my sunshine, my moonshine-
Shes ma hot, ma hotma Ghandi-
Shes my lady, from Uphrates-
Sure nuf give that woman to me-
You're just another one, justa nutha statistic-
You're needle sickness, illed weakness-
Yea ya killed, yea ya killed, yea ya killed me boy-
repeat chorus- etc

MINDSHAKER MELTDOWN
That old vicious cycle screaming within-
The talk of the building with the crashing about-
And broken glass it slides across his skin-
They both cry till exhausted and wind up in each others arms-
Its a mindshaker meltdown-
Its a spreading disease-
Ive seen it before girl, I hope they come after me-
Cause Im a big bad motherfucker, selfish and sick-
You better say your prayers baby cause its comin down quick-
Its a mindshaker meltdown-
Its a spreading disease-
Its a mindshaker meltdown-
I hope they come after me-
He lost control, her voice like a fire alarm-
Realize he could of hurt his love without knowing it at all-
It seems he transforms when she screams her song-
Possessed by a broken window and her crying for love-
Its a mass jubilation, with jesters and thieves-
A kinda group masturbation as they crucify me-
Cause Im a hollywood dreamboy, a pinup in their eyes-
I represent mama all you despise-

HALF ASS MONKEY BOY
Scratching and dreaming till night turns into day-
Its a surefire method to waste you life away-
But me Im obliged to give you my disease-
Im abracadabra I do what I please-
Stone cold mama-she a bird from a feather-
I focus all my energy, understanding you-
Such a pretty little prancer in a burgundy blue-
Witch hazel eyeballs taking care of love-
REmember the key mama-understand my words-
Stone cold mama-she a bird from a feather-
Half assed monkey boy-
Half assed monkey boy-
Half assed monkey boy-
Half assed monkey boy-
If you want a plate of my beef swellington baby,
Your gonna have to pay the cover charge-
Open wide let me suck the gate-
Etc........

CHLOE DANCER
Chloe dont know better-
Chloe just like me, only beautiful-
A couple of years difference-
But those lessons never learned-
Chloe danced the tables in the French Quarter-
Always been given so I cant always make her laugh-
But Im proud to say-
And I wont forget
Time spent layin be her side
Time spent layin by her side
And dreams like this must die-

CROWN OF THORNS
You ever heard the story, of Mister Faded Glory
Say he who rides the pony must someday fall-
I been talking to my alter it says life is what you make it
And if you make it death well rest your soul away, away, away
It's a broken kinda feeling, shed have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moons-a-comin better say your prayers
I wanna tell her that I love her but does it really matter
I just cant stand to see you dragging down again, again, again.
This is my kinda love
Its the kind that moves on-
Its unkind and leaves me alone-
Repeat
I used to treat you like a lady, now you're a substitute teacher
This bottles not a pretty, not a pretty sight to see
I owe the man some money so Im turnin over honey
You see Mister Faded Glory is once again doin time
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
Like a crown of thorns, Its all who you know
So dont burn your bridges woman cause someday
Repeat chorus etc........

CAPRICORN SISTER
My loving father, give me no pain
Taste of eucalyptus, dances and shakes
MOTHERLOVEBONE..mama papa talkin to me-
Love breeds like rabbits, Im gonna set you free
Chartreuse regalia and purple pie petes
You dance electra and night becomes day
Sweet mama cashus, drinkin all my wine... wine
And tattooed soul eyes suit me fine... suck my mind
Burgundy baby
With your blue eyed soul
You play the hits
And Im on that roll
Capricorn sister
Freddie Mercury
Jezebel child dry.... etc.....
